If i didn't click on the video to find out more, i would've assumed the creator to have been one of the biggest idiots on earth. As in: OF COURSE you should replace your timing belt, it's part of regular maintenace as well! But yes, a lot of times you should replace other necessary parts along with it, such as the water pump, idler pulleys tensioner ect. I replaced my chain, guides, exhaust cam gear and the tensioner. I didn't do the water pump, because it's separate from the engine timing, so i will proooobably do it while i replace the coolant and the thermostat. Y'know, to ensure an optimally operating cooling system.

I did a Chevy 1.8 timing belt last week needed to lock the crank and cams in 3 different spots ... All same install and removal procedures jus different ways you interact with the cams

If it's a PT Cruiser then you have to evacuate the AC refrigerant and remove the AC lines so you can remove the engine support bracket in order to remove the timing belt. It's also a good idea to replace the AC accumulator after having the system opened for that long. 🙃

Drain coolant, remove the thermostat housing may have been missed along with filling coolant after repairs

Ya should replace the timing belt with a 454 Chevy that has a timing chain 🤘

I always tell people to get a timing component kit. Especially when it's a vehicle that has components like the water pump and oil pump that runs off the timing belt. Even more critical on difficult vehicles like a pt cruiser that is the hardest timing belt job I've ever done so I replaced everything while I was up in that mess they call a car.

Nice crankshaft holding tool.

People are so offended by good advice. He isnt saying you HAVE TO hes saying you SHOULD! And hes completely fucking right, if you can you should absolutely have the seals and water pump replaced while the motor is already torn down it WILL save you money in the future if you plan on keeping the vehicle for years and years.

Advanced is an absolute cesspool of a parts house

Great advice. I like getting my parts for that type job at the dealer. The parts are competitive in price, and they've held up very well.

If you have this engine and this amount of room yes .. try doing that on a modern turbo diesel with a sealed up timing chain right up against the wheel arch/shock tower.
